[Verse 1]
I sat on the porch step while the taxis drove away
Watching them paint their faces for another hollow play
They wanted the neon lights and the stranger’s heavy breath
To feel alive for a moment, then starve the heart to death
I kept my pages turning in a book they’d never read
ignoring all the whispers and the pity that they spread
(So quiet, so still)
[Pre-Chorus]
They said I was too careful, just scared to take the fall
They said I’d end up empty, with no one there to call
But I was building a castle while they were kicking down the walls
[Chorus]
They were chasing lightning, I was waiting for the sun
(So patient)
They had a hundred endings, I only wanted one
They called it a game, but I refused to play
Now I’m the one winning on our wedding day
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, I waited for the sun)
(Ooh, the only one)
[Verse 2]
Now the glitter on the pavement has washed down in the rain
And they’re scrolling through the contacts just to numb the little pain
But we are in the kitchen, humming songs off-key
There’s a gold band on my finger and a peace they’ll never see
They traded souls for bodies, a transaction in the dark
While I was saving matches just to start a steady spark
(Just a steady spark)
[Pre-Chorus]
They said I was missing out on the wild and the free
But looking at you now, it all makes sense to me
I wasn’t losing time, I was waiting for destiny
[Chorus]
They were chasing lightning, I was waiting for the sun
(So patient)
They had a hundred endings, I only wanted one
They called it a game, but I refused to play
Now I’m the one winning on our wedding day
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, winning on our wedding day)
(Yeah, winning on our wedding day)
[Bridge]
It’s not a rush when you know it’s forever
It’s not a crush when you weather the weather
They have stories of nights that they can’t recall
I have a lifetime of catching you when you fall
(I have you, I have you)
[Chorus]
They were chasing lightning, I was waiting for the sun
(So patient)
They had a hundred endings, I only wanted one
They called it a game, but I refused to play
Now I’m the one winning on our wedding day
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh, winning on our wedding day)
(I waited for the sun)
(And now the waiting is done)
